When they beat the system for years offering Fantasy Sports & convincing uneducated officials from various states that it wasn't gambling.

And now they are benefitting from something they claimed all along that they had no ties to....Sports Betting

We ALL know Fantasy Sports is gambling.

Not sure what you're asking stale

I am more concerned with their ethics given some of the scandals surrounding the big fantasy sites. But casinos are no better. Devils.

They will not last for long. No worries.

If you like betting on sports then you should like their entry. Atleast it is possible that they provide better value, bonuses, rewards, perks, contests, etc than the encumbents. Maybe they will, maybe they won't and just default to industry norms.

Whereas we pretty much know all of the existing big sportsbooks and their parent corps that are operating in the US are just bean counters.

I would specifically go out of my way not to play with either of these companies for the bullshit they pulled jumping into the fantasy markets the way they did. Fuck both of them.

HacheMan · Jul 17, 2018

They are100% hypocrites.

They argue for years that their brand is in no way affiliated with sports betting or gambling in general, and now look at them...

PatsFan1283 · Jul 17, 2018

Maybe they will go out of business.

I hear WillHill is gonna be great for the industry. Just don't try to win more than a few K.

Fwiw Fanduel isn't owned by Fanduel founders anymore. Got bought by Paddy Power. So not really the same people as the Fanduel startups.

Took a ride to the Meadowlands last night and made a bet on the summer league game.

What a joke.

They have the book in a tight dark room.

Total failure. This room can't hold a football crowd.

Monmouth 100 times better. Monmouth has there book inside the track. On the back end.

I heard that was temporary. They are building a 5500 sq ft Sportsbook

Betallsports · Jul 17, 2018

Yeah I agreed with Hache before Paddy Power bought them, because the old owners couldn't be trusted after it went out that they were cheating their customers
with employees having their own teams and winning the big prizes.

With Paddy power, I trust them a lot more

it's not like they don't have the space ...

Oh yeah they have plenty.

When you walk out of the room off to the left is simulcast area.

Nice.....Bunch of TV`s and windows.....That`s where it should be.

Monmouth is perfect.

The area is on the back end.

The betting windows are the same type of windows where you would walk up to bet a horse.

TV`s are great and the odds TV`s are also great.

I`ll try and take some pics tonight.

I got 1 of the front entrance thats it.
